@BekahHart Год назад

Have you stayed at this resort? What are your thoughts?

@staciewalker5341 Год назад

I thought that it was fantastic for being a sky liner hotel. Very convenient. As for the amenities, we went this February, so too cold to test out the pools

@Amy-hj1qb Год назад

We have stayed here 4 times! We actually really love it! (We are Skyliner people!)

@kaylaandmarkalan Год назад

Such a great review, Bekah! I think the Skyliner is a real game changer for this resort, especially getting “early access” before Pop Century and AOA guests. And the proximity to Riviera is a huge perk…because Primo Piatto is fire!

@BekahHart Год назад

Absolutely!!! So glad you share my obsession with Primo Piatto 😍🤌🏼

@jayneestrycker7453 Год назад

We've stayed at CBR three times, twice in Aruba. We found it easier to cut across the island to the Center town bus stop. It was the first stop, at least when we stayed. At night, got off at Aruba. We didn't mind all the stops, as we were just happy to be there. Always had a full pool day. The main pool is so nice, two slides and zero entry. The steel drum island music was a bonus! OK, I'm ready to pack my bags now🏝😊🏖

@jayneestrycker7453 Год назад

This was pre Riviara/skyliner😊

@BekahHart Год назад

The only other time I’ve stayed at CBR was back in the pre-skyliner OG days yearrrrrs ago ☺️ Things have definitely changed!

@stephaniehicks2882 Год назад

Would you rather stay in the Aruba section in an older room but closer to riviera or the Trinidad section in a little mermaid room? We’re looking at staying there in the fall with our young kids

@breanna846 Месяц назад

This helped me so much! Staying here this weekend and am so excited! Good to know about the quick service at the Riveria!! Also love the hoodie, where did you get it?!

@nicoleedwards5543 11 месяцев назад

We stayed in Aruba too and utilized the Riveria transportation a few times especially the Skyliner at the Riveria. CBR has always been by favorite in the Moderates BUT we tried Pop Century and loved it. I am like you and like the beach so we get a little bit of that at CBR.

@ThuyPham-yy3lc 2 месяца назад

Do you know what’s last hour of skylines from Epcot come back to the Caribbean beach resort? Tomorrow is the first time of us..thank you for shared your experience.

@SeemaPAmir Год назад

Thank you for this video! We were at Disney last week and stayed in a 1 bedroom villa at Boardwalk. We were interested in this resort since we fell in love with the Skyliner and we are Epcot/HS fans (my kids are older and love the coasters)- I think if we did another long vacation we would opt for the villas but if we did a quick trip in the future this would be a good option. We loved the Riviera but would need a great deal to justify staying there.

@BekahHart Год назад

Those 1 bedrooms are so nice! Boardwalk is such a great location too 👌🏼

@nicolabrown221 Год назад

Can't wait to watch this, Caribbean Beach was the first Disney resort I ever stayed at waaay back! The Skyliner is such a great addition and the new room refurbs look great x

@BekahHart Год назад

Yay! Looooved being on the skyliner 🙌🏼

@Jessalyn032 Год назад

We love staying here. We don’t mind walking at all because like you said the ambiance is so enjoyable. My kids are also older, so no strollers, carrying kids, or their luggage.

@BekahHart Год назад

Agreed! Walking around this resort is so nice 🙌🏼

@ukhayesfan Год назад

I’m looking at a trip either in October or early November and I can’t decide between this resort or Pop Century.

@frankieo8285 Год назад

Great video! I really like the look of Caribbean beach apart from the non-Trinidad rooms. Coming from the UK it's cheaper to rent DVC points at Saratoga and Old Key West than pay cash for a standard Carribean room. You can even get Boulder Ridge for less than a preferred room at Carribean. The skyliner and pool would definitely be the biggest draws if we were to stay here.

@jessicakleinberg7925 Год назад

We absolutely love CBR. The main downfall for me is the carpet in the rooms lol! We love Jamaica. Best section ever. We only use the main hub and there is a dedicated bus for Jamaica and Aruba in the morning and evenings. So we always get on and the bus is never full! We love waking across the island to the main pool and love the 4 minute walk to the skyliner and joffreys.

@BekahHart Год назад

The carpet is bad 🙈 But yes! As long as you have the right bus strategy, it works out great! 🙌🏼 And looooved being so close to Joffery’s!

@StephiiLoVa90 Год назад

Ladies, are there still buses for Epcot and HS? I don't know if could do the sky liner 😔

@Amy-hj1qb Год назад

We love this resort but the walking and the busses… it’s a lot to handle. We try to focus on Skyliner parks and then (sometimes) do a split stay to GF or the Poly for MK and AK. We have been there a handful of times with another fall trip booked. Im hoping the standard rooms get a bit of a refresh soon. They are well loved and needing some TLC. 😬

@BAKER22-l4u Год назад

The walk is NOT hard

@morganc1038 Год назад

Would love to know which resort you would prefer to book after trying all the ones you’ve already tried. Thanks and great vlog!

@BekahHart Год назад

Yes! That would be a great video!

@morganc1038 Год назад

We waited almost 90 min in the blazing sun when trying to go to Epcot one day! I was so scared I don’t think I’ll ever do skyliner resort again. I wish we would’ve bailed and gone and gotten an Uber. Free transportation is sometimes a time suck.

@BekahHart Год назад

Oh no! Disney transportation definitely has its flaws 😅🤪

@morganc1038 Год назад

@@BekahHart the unpredictability part is what is so hard! Having back up plans is a must! But that was our first trip and we didn’t know to maybe walk and find the bus instead or go get an Uber.

@Rrhr893 5 месяцев назад

You answered all the questions I had in mind. Headed to Caribbean in June. The dining recommendations you gave is very helpful. Thank you!!

@amyplungis6174 Год назад

I know you mentioned you had a 3 yr old... I have a 7yr I'm looking at going in November with just her.. would you still suggest this hotel? Or is she too old? A lot of the stuff you mentioned sounded young..

@brittanys8707 Год назад

Were you in preferred room? We have a preferred room for our upcoming stay and requested Trinidad, but didn’t know if that would help get that request for an updated room!

@Amy-hj1qb Год назад

Didn’t wait long enough to comment. 😂 I heard the opposite - that the standard rooms will be updated but they won’t look identical to the new mermaid rooms. 🤷🏻‍♀️ A cast member working there told me that so here’s to hoping! 🙏🏻

@SarahBlackmon-j6t 8 месяцев назад

Would you pick 5 nights here with kids or 5 nights at the Grand Floridian??

@ElizabethSchanke 10 месяцев назад

Great Review!! Thank you for sharing all your insight. Can I ask, if you purchase DVC points, how do you do that? Is there a particular website you use for that?

@BekahHart 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! Check out DVC Rental Store! You can rent DVC points and save 40-60% on deluxe resorts ☺️

@staciewalker5341 Год назад

If you want to be right next to the Skyliner, request the Jamaica section. it is also right next to the bus stop

@BekahHart Год назад

Yes! Jamaica is great if you want to be close to the hub 👌🏼

@rin-5794 Год назад

When and how do you make that request? I have a trip in October and booked at Caribbean Beach.

@staciewalker5341 Год назад

@@rin-5794 I did it online when I booked but you can also call

@mainstreetwithmargy Год назад

I wonder if Coronado isn’t as kid friendly because of the conference center attached to it 🤔 Maybe Disney’s trying to keep it a little more “proper.”

@BekahHart Год назад

Totally agree 👌🏼

@kukuna2012 Год назад

thank you for the info! Do you have any recommendations on which restaurant reservation I should do? I will travel with my 3 and 5 year-old. thank you!

@BekahHart Год назад

If you’re able to splurge, a character would be so fun! Topolino’s breakfast is my favorite 🙌🏼

@Ladyinwaiting7 Год назад

This is a very thorough review! Way to stay positive despite not getting your request fulfilled. 👍🏼

@Cat-gs5hk Год назад

Thank you for your review! If you were to stay at Caribbean Beach again, would you request Aruba or another section?

@BekahHart Год назад

I would, yes! I’ve also never stayed in any other section haha, but I did really like Aruba!

@ssd1453 Год назад

Which disney resort do you recommend staying at with our 4 year old? We have never been to Disney. Thanks! xoxo

@BekahHart Год назад

I actually just shared my top DVC resorts for toddlers if you want to check that one out! ☺️

@Aubrella11 Год назад

Can’t you take the skyliner to epcot then take the he monorail from there to magic kingdom to skip the bus entirely?

@BekahHart Год назад

Technically yes, but you would need a park reservation for EPCOT. You would then walk to the other side of the park to get to the monorail, then another 20 minute ride to MK. You would then need to wait until 2PM to enter MK though since you used your park reservation to get into EPCOT. All that to say, the bus is the best strategy ☺️😅

@kisim7088 Год назад

We re split staying at CBR and a monorail based on park days. Only at CBR 2 days rope dropoing epcot then switching at lunch to monorail resort for 4 days.

@BekahHart Год назад

Sounds like a great plan! 👌🏼

@teachrkimmy2898 Год назад

...probably my LEAST FAVORITE resort of all the WDW resorts I've visited and stayed. 😕

@StephiiLoVa90 Год назад

Why

@briandahernandez8862 Год назад

Thank you so much for this video! The restroom con really helped me decide. We are planning a trip for June 2024 w my mother in law so I'm thinking of going for all star music family suite

@BekahHart Год назад

Absolutely! Those all star family suites look great! That will definitely give you the space everyone needs to get ready for the day ☺️

@queenblacc4579 Год назад

I didn’t like this resort at all lol. If I can’t get dvc points then I either pay slightly more for Wilderness Lodge or AKL or I would go with Pop. So glad you all had a good time!

@BekahHart Год назад

I’m with you! The price difference between CBR and WL or AKL is not that much, so I would choose those resorts over CBR as well 👌🏼

@momcomedian Год назад

Fun review! At the end you said it may not be your first pick to go again on a non-kiddo trip... if you were renting points what resort would be your top pick (or top couple)? I'm curious to hear if you could stay anywhere what resort would that be? Thanks!

@BekahHart Год назад

My favorite resorts to rent points at are Old Key West and Grand Floridian ☺️

@kukuna2012 Год назад

Wil you be able to call the hotel and request which sub division you want to stay? thanks!

@BekahHart Год назад

You can definitely call and place a request, but there’s no guarantees.

@jasminewheatley5476 Год назад

would these commutes be a problem for someone whos driving their own car?

@BekahHart Год назад

Driving your own car to the parks is a very different scenario. You won’t have the same commute issues as the buses though.

@MrEcktd1 Год назад

Very informative. Pretty much all the info I was looking for. Thank you

@BekahHart Год назад

Awesome! I’m so glad!

@krystiesellwood478 Год назад

A bit Skyliner con (which makes CBR a con for some) is if you have anyone in your party scared of heights - then there isn’t a free alternative to get to Epcot & HS. My husband rode the Skyliner from CBR to HS once, got off and said never again. Thankfully we weren’t staying there and it was a just one-off trip to make our Uber from DS a little cheaper- but we would have been screwed if we were staying there.

@BekahHart Год назад

That’s a great point! I’ve heard from many people who can not ride on the skyliner for that reason. Definitely a con if you have a fear of heights.
